Narrative Toward Books The Decoy Princess (Princess #1)

Princess Contessa of Costenopolie knows everything a royal should about diplomacy, self-defense, politics... and shopping. She ought to. She had every reason to believe that she was groomed to rule. But her next lesson is in betrayal...

The sudden arrival of her betrothed, a prince from the kingdom of Misdev, has forced Tess's parents to come clean: She's no princess. Their real daughter was raised in a nunnery for fear of assassins. Tess is nothing but a beggar's child bought off the streets as an infant and reared as a decoy.

So what's a royal highness to do when she discovers she's a royal target? Ditch the Misdev soldiers occupying the palace, use magical abilities she didn't even know she had, restore the real princess to the throne, and save her own neck. But first, Tess has to deal with the scoundrel who's urging her to run away from it all, and the Misdev captain who's determined to thwart her plans...

Article Based On Books The Decoy Princess (Princess #1)

Read Fall 2011I just did not enjoy it. It has some great elements, but nothing ever coalesced into an intriguing whole. The action is too fast, jumping right in without any understanding of this world. Which I'll admit sometimes works well, but not here.The main character, Tess, finds out her life has been a lie when it is forced out that she is nothing but a decoy, a bait and switch for enemies of the crown, all because of some ridiculous Red Moon prophecy. She has to cleverly and magically (I

2019 reread: Ok...so yeah, this book is still great fun. Why isn't it better known? I know why....it was published ten years too early. It was about a decade or so too late for the Robin McKinley/Tamora Pierce era of badass knight ladies, and about a decade too early for the current round of badass assassin ladies. It was published, unfortunately, just before the current explosion of YA fantasy, which I'm going to call the post-Hunger Games era. The only thing really stopping this book from

I much prefer Urban Fantasy over Fantasy but since I was starved for a new Kim Harrison/Dawn Cook novel I decided to give this a shot. I loved it! This author is one of the best writers out there.

Three and a half stars. At points, it was nudging a 5, but at others... Very uneven, but had a lot of good stuff in it. (Including the fact that Tess's supposed parents weren't the monsters that the King and Queen in Eilis O'Neal's The False Princess were.) With a lot of tightening-up, this could have been awesome instead of enjoyable.

This was a really fun book to read. Well written, good dialogue, very little deus ex machina, it's a new take on the "prince/princess on the run from the evil person who's trying to murder the royal person and take over the kingdom", in that the main character in this book only (initially) "thinks" that she's the princess.

AudiobookYoung adult-ish. A woman/girl finds out she's not really the daughter she thought she was. She's young enough that she fantasizes about every cute guy she meets. She experiences a really traumatic event and then has to figure out what she's going to do now. The player stuff seemed unbelievable. Otherwise, good book.

I'm really not sure what annoyed me more about this book. Well I had a list of things but everything seems so vague now. Evidently the biggest flaw is how boring it was. No no I remember! It's the girl. The girl is the most annoying part. She's very idiotic. And yet also very turned on. By men. If she mentioned how big Jeck's shoulders were one more time. Like I do not need to be reminded of that shit. I got it. Oh but here we go about how broad his scarred up back is...well oh gee golly get
